Today, the Register reports that "Jane Doe" tentatively reached a settlement in her civil lawsuit. She originally sought $26 million, but her attorney says the details of the settlement are private – including the amount she will be receiving.

UCI Medical Center fires: The hospital has fired 13 nurses over the past three months, some of whom have over 20 years experience. UCI Medical Center won't say why.
